Why don't skeletons play music in church? Because they got no organs.

What it means
Our interpretation.
It's a groaner of a pun. Skeletons supposedly can't play music in church because they lack organs, which works two ways: the instrument found in churches, and the body parts a skeleton doesn't have. The fun is in the double meaning.
